China Commercial Greenhouse Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Free Standing, Gutter Connected), By Component (High-Tech Commerical Greenhouse (Heating System (Heaters, Valves, Vents, Others), Cooling System (Fans, Cooling Pad Systems)), Medium-Tech Commerical Greenhouse (Heaters, Cooling Pads, Thermostats, Exhaust Fans, Others), Low-Tech Greenhouse), And By Application (Fruits And Vegetables, Flowers And Ornamentals, Nursery Crops) - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

The China commercial greenhouse market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.51% to reach US$8.433 billion by 2030 from US$5.605 billion in 2025.

Increasing demand for fruits and vegetables in the country with rising population and increasing purchasing power among the people are expected to increase the demand for commercial greenhouses in the country. As commercial greenhouses give more plantation output in less area, these advantages in techniques, agricultural technologies, and knowledge are expected to improve the output and increase the popularity of commercial greenhouses in the projected period. Moreover, commercial greenhouse farming can help in creating the best environments for the crops and ensure the healthy growth of these crops.

According to the China Customs data the durian imports in the first six months of 2023, reached a volume of 7.87,000 metric tons and a value of US$3.83 billion, which is a 57.1% year-on-year increase in volume and 64.9% year-on-year increase in terms of value. In 2022, China’s durian imports were only 8,25,000 metric tons, and in value, it was US$4.04 billion which, the country almost surpassed in six months only. Hence, as there is an increase in population the demand for fruits and vegetables is expected to rise, which is increasing pressure on commercial greenhouse farming as it can produce more agricultural output in less space.

Comprehensively, China's commercial greenhouse market is booming, driven by rising demand for fresh produce, limited arable land, and climate change impacts. Government support and technological advancements, including precision agriculture, controlled environment agriculture, and automation, further fuel the growth. All these factors contribute to the expansion of the market, making it a significant player in China's agricultural sector and food security.

What are the drivers of the China Commercial Greenhouse Market?

• Increasing imports from other countries.

The decreasing area for cultivating food products is expected to provide a boost to market growth. According to the World Bank, the percentage (%) of agricultural land in China in 2021 was 55.5%. Moreover, with the increasing population in the country, the demand for food products is expected to grow in the coming years. For instance, according to the World Bank, the population in 2018 in China was 1.40 billion which increased to 1.41 billion in 2021. With the increasing population, coupled with the rising standard of living in the population, the market for commercial greenhouses is expected to grow in the coming years.

According to the United States Economic Research Service, by the United States Department of Agriculture, China imported agricultural products worth US$025 billion in 2021, the highest exporter was Brazil which imported products worth US$45 billion.

Moreover, as per the U.S. Census Bureau Trade Data, the United States exported agricultural products worth US$13,583 million in 2019, which increased to almost double in 2020, and reached US$26,399 million in 2020, and in 2021 the exports by value increased by 25% and reached US$32,977 million. As the demand for food and agricultural products rises in China, the country is expected to come up with new and innovative solutions that could enhance agricultural production and imports. Hence, the use of commercial greenhouses is expected to increase significantly in the country as there is increasing demand for agricultural products and commercial greenhouses can suffice that demand with less cultivable land, and in a temperature-controlled environment.

• Growth in the fruits and vegetables segment

China is endowed with rich agricultural resources which makes it one of the major agricultural producing countries. Crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, and radish among others are produced on a larger scale in the country, and with the booming population, the food demand has witnessed a significant surge owing to which the overall production capacity has also increased. For instance, according to the World Processing Tomato Council, in 2022, China produced 6.2 million tonnes of tomato which represented a significant increase of 16.7% over 2021’s production figure of 4.8 million tonnes. Also, as per the same source, production is reached 8 million tonnes in 2023.   Tomato is one of the major produced crops in commercial greenhouses and China’s booming production coupled with technological advancements has provided a positive outlook to commercial greenhouse usage for such crop production.

Moreover, China’s geography makes it prone to colder temperatures, especially in the Northern region and since vegetable crops such as tomatoes are grown in China’s Northwest region (Xinjiang), the demand for high-tech commercial greenhouses to improve the overall production capacity is anticipated to increase. Furthermore, the well-established presence of major market players namely Beijing Kingpeng International Hi-Tech Corporation which shares an extensive portfolio of commercial greenhouses inclusive of leaf vegetable greenhouses, fruit greenhouses, and tomato & cucumber greenhouses is further paving the way for future market growth.

• Advancements in Technology

Rapid growth in China's commercial greenhouse industry is spurred by a combination of factors. Demand for fresh, high-quality produce has increased while arable land remains scarce, and climate change uncertainty adds to the compelling need for innovative agricultural solutions. Commercial greenhouses offer a controlled environment that can mitigate these challenges, allowing for year-round production regardless of weather conditions.

Technological advancement lies at the heart of this transformation. Precision agriculture with sensors and automated systems provides strict control over environmental factors while optimizing the use of resources and raising crop yields. Controlled Environment Agriculture techniques such as hydroponics and aeroponics further increase efficiency since soil-borne diseases would be absent and nutrients could be added precisely. Advanced lighting like LED lights provides specific spectrums for the cultivation of plants, reducing energy utilization and increasing productivity. Automation and robotics streamline operations, reduce labor costs, and improve efficiency. Data analytics and IoT technologies empower growers to make data-driven decisions, optimize resource allocation, and ensure optimal plant growth.

Commercial greenhouses are likely to play a pivotal role in ensuring food security and meeting the evolving needs of a growing population as China continues to modernize its agricultural sector.
